Spare wheel

An 18” space saver should be ok for your car. When you look on the site you order your spare from it usually says what it fits and doesn’t fit.
 
As others have said you could use a spare front wheel as a spare for the front or the rear (eg a front 225/40/18 would replace a rear 255/35/18) and it would be a solution to get you home.....but bear in mind that it is not legal to run two different tyre sizes on one axle even if the overall diameter is the same (or close); the exception is that you can run a space saver that is obviously marked as a space saver and limited to 50mph. Of course make sure that the overall diameter of the space saver tyre is as close as you can get to your car's tyres - don't rely on an advert to say it is suitable for your car - check the actual size difference using an online tyre comparison tool.
 
Size of tyre is 125/70R18
Hi so would that size be ok for me or would I need a different size and if so what size also do i just use the alloy wheel bolts as when i looked online some say they come with steel bolts thanks again

135/80/17” because its at a higher profile.
This is the size that was supplied to my 19" wheels as standard' that is if you want a space saver.

 
Mate, you have been told all the information you need!
